Sorry the document needs to be updated.  It follows the same convention 
that Ispell does.  From the ispell manual: "If there are no near misses at 
all, the line format is the  same,  except  that  the '&' is replaced by 
'?' (and the near-miss count is always zero).

A copy of the Ispell manual can be found at
